"A father repeatedly raped his 12-year-old daughter," Jensen said during the Oct. 4 sentencing hearing.

A licensed clinical social worker testified that the man was a "low-risk to re-offend" and that it would be important for him to have social support while he received treatment. They went on to say the man did suffer a "collapse of social support" when he lost his family and job.

Court records said the girl's mother walked in on one of the sexual assaults.
